If you are looking for a good location for summer wildflowers to photograph check, out the Regional Parks Botanic Garden. There is plenty in bloom. I found the Clarkias among the most impressive. Several Clarkia species are in bloom throughout the garden including Foothill Clarkia and Sonoma Clarkia. Also the new rock mound in the desert section is very flowery. The garden is rarely crowded. Many days are foggy this time of year providing nice even diffuse light for flower photography. Also no mosquitoes. To see some photos check my blog: Natural History Wanderings

On 7/31/10 I walked from Woods Lake to Minnemucca Lake and up the hillside above Winnemucca Lake. Both walks have many species in bloom and good displays. Do go up the hillside behind Winnemucca Lake if you can as there are nice displays of the Sierra Primrose and White Heather. Go now as the bloom won’t last long too much longer. For photographers be warned that it can be windy and the sun is harsh. The largest hillside displays are between Minnemucca Lake and the woods along the Woods Lake trail. I have posted photos and plant lists on my blog Natural History Wanderings
